While Dario Franchitti discussed the process leading up to his retirement and recalled some of his best racing memories, he also addressed the future during his media availability on Thursday.

The Scot seems to desire a future team role with Target Chip Ganassi Racing, but when asked of the potential to go into broadcasting, Franchitti admitted it held some interest.

“Yeah, I’m open to it, absolutely,” Franchitti said. “If it was done in the right way, yes, I would be open to it. I think whatever you do, though, you’ve got to do it properly. That’s something I’d have to take into account. Could I work with a team 100% and give 100% to that and be totally focused on that? Broadcast, too.

“Could I do those things? If I could, then I’d be interested in it. There’s no point in doing anything half-assed. Not the way I do things. The guys here would get pretty pissed off pretty quickly.

“The reason for me to do something here would be to add something to the team. The team here is pretty successful. That’s an understatement obviously. I have to add something if I’m going to come along.”

The ABC broadcasts have a vacancy for lead announcer with Marty Reid not returning to that post in 2014. Scott Goodyear and Eddie Cheever Jr. were color analysts alongside Reid in 2013, with Rick DeBruhl, Vince Welch, Jamie Little and Dr. Jerry Punch in the pits.

NBCSN will broadcast 13 of the 18 IndyCar races in 2014, with Long Beach and Barber in April and the last 11 in a row starting with the Saturday night race, June 7, at the Texas Motor Speedway.
